Wow. I did something very stupid. I was trying to make a left while going into a lot and didn't clear a damn curb. YES. .... I ran over it and my car was hanging in the curb. I had two choices:
1. Get a tow truck to pull me off
2. Hit reverse and hope for the best.

Well, I chose 2!!!!!!!

The damage was not as bad as I thought. There is some type of liner under the entire car which was ripped but not too bad. I'm thinking of having the dealer replace it. Do any of you think there is anything under the car that will get damaged if hit by water. I'm not sure if the plastic liner protects any electronics under the car (it would be stupid to put any electronics under the car)..

Slammed HARD. . Although I'm conditioned to check the tires because of so many bubbles I didn't even think about it until my drive to work this morning. The car is not pulling, excelerates fine and transitions into gear without difficulty. I will check for bubbles when I leave the office on my way home. I will post an update. Thanks for the info

The liner would be black. I saw a guy did the same thing last weel with his 3 series. Drive over a curb on a turn and he lost his air deflector in front of his front wheel and some liner behind the front wheel. The funny thing is, he didnt even stop, must have been a leased car

Thanks X Men.. I was specifically checking for something black when I checked the curb.. but didnt find anything. The air deflector also is intact infront of the front wheel.
Regarding the tire, mine is 17", so that must have helped. It was a warm day and when i checked the pressure it was 38psi. so that must have protected the rim.
